Add a check for the invalid status of `0` for `diff_filepair` when certain
object files are missing. When these object files are missing, 'git log'
returns 'fatal: bad object HEAD' but 'git diff' segfaults.
Normally, the `diff_filepair` status should be a character, but when object
files are removed, status becomes a zero character which isn't listed as one
of the possible status letters in `Documentation/diff-format.txt`.
This patch checks for that invalid status character and gracefully exits with
an error message.
